[Bug 819779] [NEW] horrible default item order in systemsettings

[Christian A. Reiter]

Public bug reported:

This is a wish, no bug really.

If you look at the systemsettings main page, you see plenty of different
icons, divided in separated groups like "workspace appearance and
behaviour",  "Common appearance and behaviour" etc.

This is, from a technical POV very true and intended, I guess.
>From the point of usability (and that is what Ubuntu wants to be) it is extremely complicated and against all normal workflow.
If I want to change the "look and feel" of the desktop, I don't care if that item is part of the "common" behaviour or a "special", "workspace" behaviour.
There are different items that all address the SAME theme (grom a usability view):
* Application appearance
* Desktop Effects
* Workspace Appearance
* Window behaviour
* Workspace behaviour

They IMHO all can be under ONE icon, and therefore could be found much,
much easier: I use Kubuntu/KDE4 since the beginning (with occasional
switches to Gnome because of these many usability issues), and still
have problems finding the right module in systemsettings when I want to
change something. Theses are the little itches that make KDE so
complicated - it's not usability what is in the foreground.

Other example:
* "Login Screen", Startup and Shutdown" should be together
 * in "Display and Monitor": Why are "Size & orientation" and "Multiple Monitors" two sub items when both address the same theme? (could be a different bug/wish, I know)
